Sound in YouTube videos leaks exact location via Doppler analysis
Original title: I discovered a sound that leaks your exact location (and it's everywhere) - YouTube
OSINT researcher Colsto demonstrates using plane noise in videos to track flights with ADS-B data.
Colsto created a YouTube video showing how imperceptible background noise of planes can be used to determine exact locations. By analyzing Doppler curves from video soundtracks and cross-referencing with ADS-B flight data, the position of the video is found based on flight speed, distance, and gaps. This demonstrates the use of OSINT techniques.
- Uses Doppler shift from plane noise in videos
- Cross-references with ADS-B flight data
- Can pinpoint locations precisely

I discovered a sound that leaks your exact location (and it's everywhere) - YouTube Genius piece of OSINT by Colsto, who demonstrates how you can take almost imperceptible background noise of planes from a video soundtrack, figure out their Doppler curves, then cross reference them against ADS-B data to find the exact location of the video based on their speed, distance, and gaps between different flights.
